Alberta Next panel set to begin hearings on public concerns with federal government

ALBERTA, JUL 14 – The panel will gather public input on federal government issues to explore solutions for Alberta-federal relations, aiming to address concerns raised by residents and political leaders.

  • On July 14, 2025, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s panel begins the Red Deer town hall, the first stop in back-to-back hearings across Alberta.
  • Believing in a sovereign Alberta within a united Canada, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said the panel will recommend ideas for a referendum after town halls end in October.
  • With some 650 people expected at today’s Red Deer event, tickets sold out fast for both events and Wednesday's Sherwood Park town hall will gather Edmonton region feedback.
  • Opposition NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi dismissed the panel as a way for Smith to curry favour with extreme elements of her United Conservative Party, adding 'Better Together' tour to explore ways Albertans can help build a strong future for all Canadians.
  • The government is dedicating event time to strategies to wrest more control from the federal government, including pulling out of the Canada Pension Plan and withholding social services from some immigrants, while Smith waved from a float during the Calgary Stampede parade on July 4, 2025.
